Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Lappverbindung zwischen mindestens zwei Blechteilen und insbesondere zwei Rohkarosserieteilen vor dem Verschweißen, nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a lap connection between at least two Sheet metal parts and in particular two body-in-white parts before welding, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Lappverbindungen, wie sie zur vorübergehenden gegenseitigen Fixierung von noch unverschweißten Rohkarosserieteilen während des Transports bis zum Einlegen in die Punktschweißstation Verwendung finden, bestehen üblicherweise aus einer vom einen Blechteil hochgebogenen Fügelasche, die durch einen entsprechenden Aufnahmeschlitz im anderen Blechteil eingeschoben und über diesem dann unter Beibehalt der Biegerichtung umgelappt wird. Bei beengten Einbauverhältnissen, z.B. an abgewinkelten Blechteilen mit einer schmalen gegenseitigen Anlagefläche, wo sich die Fügelasche aus Platzgründen nicht über dem anderen Blechteil umbiegen lässt, sind derartige Lappverbindungen jedoch nicht anwendbar.Lapp connections, such as those used for the temporary mutual fixation of still unwelded body-in-white parts during transport to Inserting into the spot welding station usually exists from a sheet ash bent up from a sheet metal part, which through inserted a corresponding slot in the other sheet metal part and then lapped over this while maintaining the bending direction. at cramped installation conditions, e.g. on angled sheet metal parts with a narrow mutual contact surface, where the joining ash for space reasons Lapp connections of this type cannot be bent over the other sheet metal part however not applicable.

Verschränkte Lappverbindungen der eingangs genannten Art hingegen, wie sie z.B. aus O. Richter, Bauelemente der Feinmechanik, VEB-Verlag Berlin, 8. Auflage, S. 151-153, bekannt sind, benötigen zwar einen wesentlich geringeren Einbauraum, haben aber den Nachteil, dass im verschränkten Zustand der seitlich auskragenden Lappenteile zwischen dem Aufnahmeschlitz und der Fügelasche ein dem Überstand der Lappenteile entsprechendes Spiel vorhanden ist, so dass eine exakte gegenseitige Fixierung der Blechteile nicht gewährleistet ist. Entangled Lapp connections of the type mentioned, however, as they e.g. from O. Richter, components of precision engineering, VEB-Verlag Berlin, 8. Edition, pp. 151-153, are known, require a much smaller one Installation space, but have the disadvantage that the laterally projecting flap parts between the receiving slot and the joining ash a game corresponding to the projection of the flap parts is available is, so that an exact mutual fixation of the sheet metal parts is not guaranteed is.

Eine verschränkte Lappverbindung der eingangs genannten Art ist aus der WO 00/04295 bekannt. Die dort beschriebene Lappverbindung dient dazu, eine feste Verbindung zweier Blechteile zu erzielen, da sie als Alternative zu Schraub-, Niet- oder Schweißverbindungen dient.An entangled Lappverbindung of the type mentioned is from the WO 00/04295 known. The Lapp connection described there serves a to achieve a firm connection between two sheet metal parts, as they are an alternative to screw, Riveted or welded connections.

Wird eine derartige Blechverbindung nach der WO 00/04295 anschließend verschweißt, so können bei dynamischer Belastung störende Reibgeräusche zwischen den seitlichen Lappenteilen und Blechbereichen, die den Aufnahmeschlitz umgeben, auftreten.If such a sheet metal connection is subsequently welded according to WO 00/04295, so can disturbing friction noise between dynamic loads the lateral flap parts and sheet metal areas that surround the receiving slot, occur.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Lappverbindung der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend weiterzubilden, dass auch bei beengten Einbauverhältnissen eine positionsgenaue, gegenseitige Fixierung der Blechteile möglich ist, ohne dass zusätzliche Geräusche bei späterer dynamischer Belastung auftreten.The object of the present invention is a Lappverbindung of the aforementioned Kind of further training that even in cramped installation conditions a precise, mutual fixation of the sheet metal parts is possible without that additional noises occur with later dynamic loading.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des ersten Anspruchs gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of the first claim solved.

Dadurch, dass die lichte Höhe des jeweiligen Lappenteils über den mit der Flügellasche versehenen Blechteil größer als die Wanddicke des anderen Blechteils bemessen ist, wird nach dem Verschweißen der Blechteile ein Spalt zwischen dem Lappenteil und dem anderen Blechteil vorhanden bleiben, so dass störende Reibgeräusche, die sonst an dieser Stelle unter dynamischer Belastung der Blechteile entstehen könnten, wirksam vermieden werden. Damit ergibt sich eine in der Blechebene spielfreie und exakte gegenseitige Blechteilfixierung, die sich selbst an schmalen Einbauflächen problemlos und mit geringem Montageaufwand, nämlich durch einfaches Abbiegen der vorgeformten Lappenteile, fertig stellen lässt.Because the clear height of the respective flap part above that with the wing flap provided sheet metal part larger than the wall thickness of the other sheet metal part is, after welding the sheet metal parts, a gap between the Flap part and the other sheet metal part remain so that annoying rubbing noises, otherwise at this point under dynamic loading of the sheet metal parts could arise, effectively avoided. This results in one in the sheet plane backlash-free and exact mutual sheet metal part fixing, which itself narrow installation areas easily and with little installation effort, namely can be finished by simply bending the preformed flap parts.

Durch die Weiterbildung nach Anspruch 2 wird eine besonders hochwertige Blechteilsicherung vorzugsweise dadurch erzielt, dass die Flügellasche T-förmig ausgebildet und an den beiden seitlichen Lappenteilen verschränkt ist. Dadurch, dass auch hier wieder darauf geachtet wird, dass der Abstand des Lappenteils zum einen Blechteil größer ist als die Wandstärke des anderen Blechteils, werden auch hier störende Reibgeräusche sicher vermieden.Through the development according to claim 2, a particularly high-quality sheet metal part security preferably achieved in that the wing flap is T-shaped and is folded on the two side flap parts. As a result of that Again, care is taken to ensure that the distance between the flap part and the one Sheet metal part is larger than the wall thickness of the other sheet metal part, also here annoying rubbing noises safely avoided.

Durch die Weiterbildung nach Anspruch 3 wird eine lagegenaue Fixierung der erfindungsgemäßem Lappverbindung dadurch erreicht, dass außerhalb der Lappverbindung eine Formschlussverbindung, die beispielsweise aus zwei korrespondierenden V- oder U-förmigen Sicken besteht, hergestellt wird. Hierdurch wird verhindert, dass sich die verbundenen Bleche in Längsrichtung des Aufnahmeschlitzes der Lappverbindung verschieben können.Through the development according to claim 3, a precise fixation of the invention Lapp connection achieved in that outside of the Lapp connection a positive connection, which for example consists of two corresponding V- or U-shaped beads are made. This prevents the connected sheets in the longitudinal direction of the receiving slot of the Lappverbindung can move.

Die Ausgestaltung der Erfindung nach Anspruch 4 beschreibt eine fertigungstechnische Vereinfachung der Formschlussverbindung. The embodiment of the invention according to claim 4 describes a manufacturing technology Simplification of the positive connection.

Die Erfindung wird nunmehr anhand eines in den Zeichnungen schematisch dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

The invention will now be described with reference to an embodiment shown schematically in the drawings. Show it:
Fig. 1
a partial perspective view of two sheet metal parts provided with a Lapp- and an associated positive connection before assembly; and
Fig. 2
supervision of the sheet metal parts after assembly.

In Fig. 1 sind zwei getrennt vorgeformte Blechteile 1, 2, etwa zwei Rohkarosserieteile, dargestellt, die in einer Schweißstation an den kreuzmarkierten Stellen punktverschweißt werden und bis dahin gegenseitig positionsgenau fixiert werden müssen. Zu diesem Zweck werden die Blechteile 1, 2 durch eine kombinierte Lapp- und Formschlussverbindung 3, 4 zusammengefügt.1 shows two separately preformed sheet metal parts 1, 2, for example two body-in-white parts, shown in a welding station at the cross-marked points be spot welded and then fixed to each other in the exact position have to. For this purpose, the sheet metal parts 1, 2 are combined Lapped and positive connection 3, 4 joined together.

Wie Fig. 1 am deutlichsten zeigt, enthält die Lappverbindung 3 eine vom unteren Blechteil 1 hochgebogene, T-förmige Fügelasche 5 mit einem Verbindungssteg 6 und beidseitig von diesem abstehenden Lappenteilen 7, sowie einen im abgewinkelten Randabschnitt 8 des oberen Blechteils 2 ausgebildeten Aufnahmeschlitz 9, dessen Schlitzlänge I der Breite b der Fügelasche 5 an den Lappenteilen 7 und dessen Schlitzbreite der Blechstärke des unteren Blechteils 1 entspricht.As shown most clearly in FIG. 1, the lap connection 3 contains one from the bottom Sheet metal part 1, bent T-shaped ash 5 with a connecting web 6 and on both sides of this projecting flap parts 7, and one formed in the angled edge section 8 of the upper sheet metal part 2 Receiving slot 9, the slot length I of the width b of the joining ash 5 to the Flap parts 7 and its slot width of the sheet thickness of the lower sheet metal part 1 corresponds.

Die Formschlussverbindung 4 besteht bei dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel aus zwei korrespondierenden, V- oder U-förmigen Sicken 10.1 und 10.2 im unteren bzw. oberen Blechteil 1, 2, die jeweils angrenzend an die Lappverbindung 3 quer zur Längenerstreckung der Fügelasche 5 bzw. des Aufnahmeschlitzes 9 verlaufen.The positive connection 4 is in the embodiment shown from two corresponding, V or U-shaped beads 10.1 and 10.2 in lower or upper sheet metal part 1, 2, each adjacent to the Lappverbindung 3 transversely to the length extension of the joining ash 5 or the receiving slot 9 run.

Zum Zusammenfügen der Blechteile 1, 2 wird die Fügelasche 5 in den Aufnahmeschlitz 9 eingeschoben und an den Lappenteilen 7 gegensinnig verschränkt (Fig. 2). Hierdurch werden die Sicken 10.1, 10.2 in gegenseitigen Eingriff gebracht und sichern dadurch die Blechteile 1, 2 gegen das seitliche Bewegungsspiel, welches an der Lappverbindung 3 in Schlitzlängsrichtung entsprechend dem seitlichen Überstand der Lappenteile 7 zwischen dem Verbindungssteg 6 und den Schlitzenden vorhanden ist. Die so zusammengefügten Blechteile 1, 2 werden anschließend zur Schweißstation transportiert und dort punktverschweißt. Um zu verhindern, dass an den verschweißten Blechteilen 1, 2 unter dynamischen Belastungen Reibgeräusche zwischen den verschränkten Lappenteilen 7 und dem oberen Blechteil 2 entstehen, ist die Steghöhe h des Verbindungsstegs 6 geringfügig größer als die Wandstärke des oberen Blechteils 2 bemessen, so dass die Lappenteile 7 nach Herstellung der Punktschweißverbindung vom oberen Blechteil 2 abgehoben sind. Der daraus bis zum Verschweißen der Blechteile 1, 2 resultierende Bewegungsspalt senkrecht zur Blechebene bleibt bei ausreichender Eingriffstiefe der Formschlussverbindung 4 ohne Einfluss auf die, jedenfalls aber innerhalb des zulässigen Toleranzbereichs der Fügegenauigkeit der Blechteile 1, 2.To join the sheet metal parts 1, 2, the joining ash 5 is in the receiving slot 9 inserted and crossed on the flap parts 7 in opposite directions (Fig. 2). As a result, the beads 10.1, 10.2 in mutual Brought engagement and thereby secure the sheet metal parts 1, 2 against the lateral Movement play, which on the Lappverbindung 3 in the longitudinal direction of the slot corresponding to the lateral projection of the flap parts 7 between the connecting web 6 and the slot ends is present. The so put together Sheet metal parts 1, 2 are then transported to the welding station and spot welded there. To prevent the welded sheet metal parts 1, 2 under dynamic loads friction noise between the entangled Flap parts 7 and the upper sheet metal part 2 arise, the web height h of the connecting web 6 slightly larger than the wall thickness of the dimensioned upper sheet metal part 2, so that the flap parts 7 after manufacture of the Spot weld connection are lifted off the upper sheet metal part 2. The one out of it until the sheet metal parts 1, 2 are welded, the resulting movement gap is vertical to the sheet level remains with a sufficient depth of engagement of the positive connection 4 without influencing, but at least within the permissible Tolerance range of the joining accuracy of the sheet metal parts 1, 2.
